Continuous Separation
No stop-start cleaning. Ferrous discharge is automatic at belt return.
HEAD PULLEY MAGNETS
Retrofit your conveyor with a magnetic head pulley for continuous, maintenance-light ferrous separation.

Techco Power Engineering designs and manufactures magnetic head pulley separators that replace your existing conveyor head pulley to continuously remove ferrous contaminants from the product stream. Magnetic particles are attracted and carried around the pulley’s circumference, releasing at the magnetic discharge, while clean, non-magnetic material follows the belt’s natural trajectory.
Ideal for mining, quarrying, recycling and metal recovery (including ferrochrome vs slag separation), our pulleys are built to your line’s diameter, face width, and shaft spec, enabling a quick change-out with minimal plant downtime.
Key Benefits
Fast Retrofit
Direct replacement for existing head pulley; custom shafts for your gearbox/motor.
Low Maintenance
Durable stainless construction and optional lagging for belt grip and wear resistance.
Applications
Mining & Quarrying
Protect crushers and screens; recover valuable ferrous content; slag clean-up.
Recycling
Steel vs non-ferrous stream separation on MRFs & scrap conveyors.
Metal Recovery
Ferrochrome/iron recovery from slag; beneficiation circuits.

Installation & Integration
- Confirm belt width, speed, head pulley diameter/face, and available GA drawing (if any).
- We machine the shaft to your gearbox/motor spec for a direct swap-out.
- Optional lagging improves belt traction on long/heavy conveyors.
- Commissioning support and verification measurements available on request.
Head Pulley Magnet — FAQs
What information do you need to quote a head pulley magnet?
Belt width & speed, current head pulley diameter and face width, burden depth, material type, target contaminants, and site environment (heat, moisture, abrasion).
Can I retrofit without changing my gearbox or motor?
Yes. We machine the shaft to your existing gearbox/motor requirements for a direct replacement wherever possible.
Do I need belt lagging?
Lagging is recommended for long/heavy conveyors to maintain traction and reduce slip—our team will advise based on your duty.
